Rif kept working throughout a lot of the day yesterday but I finally had a minute yesterday evening, very late, and sat down and launched the app... It worked for a few moments but alas that was only the cached posts. Soon it stopped, for good.

It was very sad uninstalling rif, I can't fathom the obscene amount of hours spent using it, endlessly scrolling my carefully curated subs, be it while pooping, waiting for someone, watching something dumb, or in the middle of the night unable to sleep.

Sigh.

Hey, there's lots of nice people and good magazines and fewer bots and trolls over here, so we'll all be fine.

I'm fine.

Snif.

If you put the Kbin link or Lemmy app right in RIF's place on your home screen, you'll barely miss it when your muscle memory comes calling for you to push the icon when you get ever so slightly bored.

Or, you can seize the opportunity to be bored again and do new stuff!

No, scratch that, that's stupid.

I know I'm just delaying the inevitable, but I patched it for now.

Thankfully kbin has a web app that I put right in the same place. It’s like nothing really changed in my life

Ditto. This is exactly what I did.

I'm able to use it again. Through muscle memory I opened the reddit app and it showed me that my credentials doesn't work anymore, when I tried to refresh the page I was surprised that it was populated.

I logged in using the RiF app. Then visited the stickied posts on /r/redditisfun, it seems people are reporting the same experience.

I closed the app immediately though, I didn't want to accidentally rack up some fees for /u/talklittle.

I'm deleting the app after this comment, also need to buy the dev some coffee.
